Why am I shaving my head, and why should you care?

Last Year a dear friend of mine, Newton Cheng and his family were hit with some shocking news that affect far too many people and children.  His beautiful daughter Kira was diagnosed with Leukemia in December.  I've been donating and shaving my head for the past 20 years with the lingering feeling that I couldn't imagine what it would feel like to hear that news.  It was heart wrenching to hear about the diagnosis.  She is so strong and doing well but that isn't the case for far, far too many children.  Federal funding has been reduced and while progress is being made there is still a long way to go.  Please consider making a donation to this amazing cause.    

A challenge among friends 25 years ago has become the largest volunteer movement to Conquer Kids’ Cancer. This year, I’m joining thousands of others to shave my head to raise money for childhood cancer research!

Did you know, 1 in 5 kids diagnosed with cancer in the U.S. won’t survive? For those who do, more than 96% have severe or life-threatening conditions by the time they are 50.

Each shaved head, every dollar donated, creates a ripple effect of progress for kids with cancer.

Your gift will give kids and their families hope, supporting the best research across the country, through the largest charity funder of childhood cancer research grants, the St. Baldrick’s Foundation.

Together, let’s give these kids the lifetime they deserve. Thank you for your support!
